PTM Drone Services in short
PTM Drone Services is a Wellington drone business for roof surveys and inspections, stating a CAA Operational Authorisation to mid-August 2026 with ARPAS registration and CAA and EASA certifications beside it. Full insurance under a compliant policy is stated on the same profile. For paperwork alone, few small outfits show more. Certifications from both UK and European bodies sit on the same profile.
The record covers surveying, inspections, three-dimensional mapping and photography, with contact through a call number and message route on its register profile. There is no stand-alone website, so the profile and a directory listing carry the whole public face. A directory listing beside the profile carries the overflow detail. Every price is on enquiry.
Customer evidence is a single written review on the register profile, carrying no numeric rating. The reviewer praises a quick quote response with discount and very good roof-survey footage. One review shows a good first impression rather than a pattern, and no Google record exists to set beside it. The praise centres on speed with discount.
Our judgement leaves PTM Drone Services the pick for an authorised Wellington roof survey where the authorisation document matters most. The gaps are numeric review evidence, published prices and trading history. For a single survey from a responsive local operator, that trade reads fairly. For a single survey, that trade can still work.
Our verdict
Our judgement: PTM suits you if you want an authorised and insured Wellington operator for roof surveys and inspections, with paperwork stated on its register profile [1]. The gaps are numeric review evidence, published prices and trading history. The one written review is positive about quote speed and footage [1].

Questions about PTM Drone Services
Is PTM Drone Services any good?
On the evidence, yes for Wellington roof surveys: it sits sixth in our Telford drone photographer table, states a CAA Operational Authorisation to mid-August 2026 with ARPAS registration, and its one written review praises quote speed and footage. Full insurance is stated on the same profile. The gaps are review depth, prices and history. A fixed total before the flight is the thing to compare.
Is PTM Drone Services registered with the CAA?
A CAA Operational Authorisation to mid-August 2026 is stated on its register profile, with ARPAS registration and CAA and EASA certifications beside it. That is sourced from the profile rather than a register listing. The date on the authorisation is the detail to check. Sight of the document itself completes the picture.
What does PTM Drone Services charge?
It publishes no prices, rates or VAT position on its profile, so costs emerge after first contact. Roof surveys vary by property size and deliverable, which is why the operator quotes per job. Send the address with a photo of the roof. A fixed total before the flight is the thing to compare.
Where does PTM Drone Services work?
The operator is based on Victoria Avenue in Wellington and serves Telford with the town around it. Roof surveys and inspections suit that local patch. Wellington postcodes sit closest to the base. Jobs further afield are a question for first contact. Send your postcode with the property details to confirm cover.
How do I get a quote from PTM Drone Services?
Quotes run through the call number and message route on the register profile, since there is no stand-alone website. Send the address, a photo of the roof and the report you need back. The profile promises a quick response. A fixed total before the flight is the response to look for.
What do the reviews say about PTM Drone Services?
The single register review praises a quick quote response with discount and very good roof-survey footage. It carries no numeric rating, so there is no score to average. Speed with discount headlines the single account. No Google record exists for the business. Read that review in full, then weigh it against the stated authorisation.
How does PTM Drone Services compare with the others in the round?
It sits sixth of the six, behind Ironside Studios on review depth and creative range. Against Wrekin Geo it matches stated authorisation and insurance with a narrower roof-survey niche. Above it, every rival brings a fuller website. Its edge is current authorisation with insurance; its gaps are reviews, prices and history.
How is PTM Drone Services ranked?
It ranks sixth of the six drone photographers in our September round, as the pick for authorised roof surveys from a Wellington operator. Customer evidence counts most toward every score, with qualifications, history, cover, pricing and website detail behind it. Read the full review, then ask for the fixed total.
